I'm ready to accept other peoples cultures.

Personally I can understand his position.
Some folks firmly believe that if their teenage boy will ever see a glimpse of naked skin, he'll die from overmasturbation (and some certainly will). Some folks believe that if their flat-chested teenage daughters will see half-naked models, they will die of pure envy (quite understandable).

I happen to work for an international company. In every branch there is a tradition - once a year company sponsored picnic for the employees and their families. Except NZ branch that is. One of our folks vetoed the tradition because he is afraid that his kids will see grown up dudes drinking beer. I kid you not. Some people can be really upset if their kids will see something they deem wrong. And personally, there are things that I'd prefer to keep my kids' eyes away from.

Having said that I would like to say that I join the opposition to the parade and advocate its cancellation. Why? Because due to my work schedule I won't be able to attend

Just kidding!

They didn't need a permit to do it, what they needed a permit for was to get the publicity and they sure are getting that now.

Every show needs a circus and some clowns.

Where to get the best bang for your bucks?

Why the largest local circus you can find of course! (Thinks, apply for a permit!)

Enter the Auckland City Council with it's enormous supply of readymade "clowns" and you have the perfect promotion deal you can find.

Without "Dick" and his circus this would have been a non event!

The sad thing is that Dick and his clowns really think they count for something important.

Well done, the porn man, a stroke of genius, in my book!

John.

The Auckland City Council has a penchant for attracting clowns...
I wonder if they actually know they have hired a senior manager who is currently being prosecuted by the Serious Fraud office???
Watch your rates going up again soon...

Must admit seems a bit hypocritical. Didn't the Auck council give some money to the Hero Parade? So it's all right for the streets to be closed for the Hero Parade but boobs on bikes that's a no no. No wonder no one knows the difference between right and wrong anymore. Maybe Auckland needs a 'Flasher' Parade. Where better than to place an advertising slogan. McDick or Burger Dick..........your way.

In our culture they don't. The woman cover up. So in that context all Hubbard is doing is upholding our culture values.

Cultures can change, if enough people want topless chicks wandering around they should be allowed to!

I'm sure it has something to do with democratic process.... A concept most if not all politicians fail to grasp.

Hypothesis,

Hubbard payed for a hooker who works for the porn man. Porn man says haha blackmail: now you have to revoke the approval (that he got from some one else that shagged the hooker) so that it makes heaps of publicity for me! Then we'll ride anyway and get shitloads of people to pay to see my porn.

Muhhaaaahahahahaha.

Obviously this is an imagined scenario and I'm not suggesting it happened at all......

So presumably you don't mind if your mother walks around topless or your sister if you have one, or your girlfriend or wife while other men ogle, wolf whistle, and make sniggering comments about their boobs or lack of them or whatever.

Hubbards concerns as I understand, is the closure of Queen St for a commercial expo. What I find interesting is that a council officer has given 'her' permission and Hubbard wants to overturn that decision. That has nothing to do with the democratic process but due process of law.

So in that reguards you need to 'bone' up on the democratic process yourself before critisizing others for not doing so.

I think if everyones mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends were walking around topless there'd be a few people "boning" up, and it would have little to do with democratic process.....

That's a very clear interpretation of events there Dover, that's why we wear clothing!
To hide our embarrassment! ( or stop you showing off, depends on your equipment I suppose)
